The internet, of course. WDs blog, Backblaze, a bunch of news sites,
basically whatever Qwant coughed up. Why?

So the helium made the disks "drop off" the SATA cables?
How does that work?

What's the connection between shingled disks and helium?

When were these leakage incidents? I haven't heard about them;
only Gene's wartime anecdotes about helium passing through inch-thick
walls of Monel with impunity.

Indeed, for any of this. As for facts from the internet, I read
this on one page selected at random — well, a top google hit:

  https://recoverysquad.com.au/what-are-the-advantages-of-helium-sealed-hard-drives/

 "Helium HDDs as compared to standard HDDs

  Helium HDDs offer several advantages over traditional hard drives,
  including:

  [ … ]

  · Their lower power consumption translates into longer battery life for portable devices.
          ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
  · And lastly, they generate less heat, which can be an issue with traditional HDDs.

Sorry, the Seagate was just an example -- I prefer Western Digital myself.
My only point was using one or two external drives for backups.

I would say that 53°C and even 44°C is well above 36°C you expected:

IIRC the fan in the front of an upper drive cage got unplugged for a 
while, half an hour maybe, about a year ago while I was doing my annual 
D&C on it.  These SSD's all of them have a label claiming they need 5 
volts and 1 amp, that is 5 watts, but I don't think that is a steady 
load, probably only when writing at 500+ mhz,  ! watt or less of heat is 
much closer to normal operation.

Thank you, take care, stay warm, dry and well, Max. Having a heat wave 
here, its up to 21F out at 12:25 pm here, 16" of white stuff on the 
front deck, got cold & had to replace the battery's in my smart t-stat 
about an hour ago.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Agreed, and that doesn't depend on UEFI; MBR/GPT disks show
the same behaviour. But those are PARTLABELS.

But it may be that Gene meant filesystem LABELs.

Gene, to check/display the LABELs, just place, in turn, the
highlight on the line for each partition, like:

I bet on --hard-links and --sparse as means to avoid the extra disk space
consumption. (--archive is important for other reasons, but it was
already in use as -a with your successful rsync run. --delete will be
of importance if the rsync run gets repeated on the already filled target
directory tree.)

man rsync:

 -H, --hard-links
    This tells rsync to look for hard-linked files in the source and
    link together the corresponding files on the destination.  With‐
    out  this option, hard-linked files in the source are treated as
    though they were separate files.
    [...]
 -S, --sparse
    Try  to  handle  sparse  files  efficiently so they take up less
    space on the destination. [...]

One can observe a similar inflation effect when copying the files of a
Debian installation ISO to hard disk. In the original disk directory
on the machine which created the ISO there were hardlinked kernels and
firmware packages. In the ISO these link siblings share the same file
content storage.
But when mounted, the siblings get treated as separate files with
different inode numbers. So the 8,135,584 bytes of the hardlink siblings
  /install.amd/gtk/vmlinuz
  /install.amd/vmlinuz
  /install.amd/xen/vmlinuz
get triplicated when these three files get copied out of the ISO.

I am somewhat astonished that --hard-links is not default in rsync,
as it is quite important for backup fidelity.
(On the other hand it is some effort to find all siblings on the disk.)

Sparse files are files with large areas of 0-bytes. Many filesystems
don't store the zeros but rather an instruction to hand out the given
number of 0-bytes when requested by a reader.


If i were you, i'd let rsync make a complete new copy with --hard-links
--sparse, and --delete, but without --bwlimit= in order to get a higher
copy fidelity and also to check whether the transfer speed really was not
to blame for the appearance of the OOM killer.


Have a nice day :)

It does seem strange to me, even in MS-DOS era I was able to set a
terminal scrollback to 5000 lines without issue, when RAM was maybe 4 MB
and a DOS terminal program probably had access to way less than that. So
does rsync really generate gigabytes of verbose output? Or is
xfce-terminal storing the scrollback in a very inefficient way?

I have no problems with 130 xterms of 10,000 lines each.

rsync can be extremely verbose when the number of transferred files is
very high.


> Or is xfce-terminal storing the scrollback in a very inefficient way?

I would not be astonished to learn that the luxury ornamented terminals
of the various desktops waste many extra bytes when memorizing plain text.
But the real bug is the fact that the scroll back memory is unlimited and
can summon the OOM killer. (I imagine it like the Discworld Death of Rats.)

If i were a user of Xfce i would report this as bug to its Debian
maintainer. Bug title "xfce-terminal: A landmine on the kids' playground".


Have a nice day :)

That I can't answer, other than -v outputs a full from / pathlist to 
everyfile it touchs, and if storing that in ram, I can sure see it 
eating 32G very quickly when it is moving 335G, it only got around 13G 
moved before OOM struck and killed the system, on each of probably 15 
attempts. Knowing that the tech of an SSD and the common micro-sd has a 
relatively limited actual write speed after in has used up its input 
cache of fast ram, I took the v off the -av, and them limited it to 
10megs a second, it took around 9 hours and the system acted normally, 
no OOM problens. I have edited the /etc/stab and am now running on that 
copy for /home.  The raid is now automounted to /raid10 and says its 
valid, despite the 4th drives log being a mess. My thoughts are to 
reverse the copy and put it in crontab to keep an uptodate backup of 
/home until I can re-invent my wrappers for amanda. /home is by far the 
biggest glop of data, and none of my printers or cnc machines will use 
more that 10G reach, so I'm inclinded to think of the other 8T of drives 
as an lvm managed 8T, which should give me room enough to keep 30 days 
worth of amanda's way of doing things.

But I'm hibernating for the nonce, I woke up at 6 with 6" of new snow on 
the deck, and the weather fabricators are promising another 24 hours of 
that, might wind up with 3 or 4 feet of it. I've got coffee, the 
freezers are well stocked.  Boring but safe.

All the messy logs were at hour 21027 so that was a single actual event, 
probably caused by OOM.

Take care Anssi, stay warm, dry and well where ever you are.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

But the drives in question are not yet and never have been in a raid

Something is seriously wrong here. I worked at Maxtor for a while. They
went out of their way to be sure there were no duplicate serial
numbers.

Gene, I suggest you check these SNs with the SN on the packages (if
there is one) and on the label on the drive.

Also, take each drive, one at a time, attach it to another computer
with a fresh installation of Debian, one you haven't mucked with in any
way, and only one other drive already in it, and read the SNs there.

I also went looking for Gigastone's web site. Every page I tried at
gigastone.com led to what I presume was an Error 404 page. I say
presume because most of the text was in non-English, probably Chinese,
characters.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

lsblk, which I've published several times, shows 5 drives. by-id listing 
only shows 3. The drive I've been trying to use bounces from /dev/sdd to 
sde to sdh dependin on which controller it is curently plugged into.

And I've since tried cp in addition to rsync, does the same thing, 
killing the sysytem with the OOM but much quicker. cp using all system 
memory (32Gb) in 1 minute, another 500K into swap adds another 15 secs, 
and the OOM kills the system. So both cp and rsync act broken.

rsync, with a --bwlimit=3m set, takes much longer to kill the system but 
the amount of data moved is very similar, 13.5G from clean disk to 
system freeze for rsync, 13.4G for cp.

I take it that you're trying to copy to one Gigastone SSD. Presumably
the kernel favours some controllers over others in the race to name
them. This is why using the kernel's device names is no longer
recommended.

I'd be tempted to bisect the problem by copying to another machine
though a cat5 cable.

I don't know enough about how rsync behaves to interpret that
coincidence, but it seems ominous on its face.

I ignore all your posts with lsblk that didn't use the -f option to facilitate
identifying individual SSDs.

It looks like you configured Exim to put root's mailbox in your home

I believe "3328" is an error number, not the quantity of errors -- the 
smartd mail said the count increased from 0 to 1.

Before you conclude that two of the Samsung 870 1 TB's are dying, please 
run a SMART short test on all four:

# smartctl -t short /dev/disk/by-id/...


What a few minutes for the test to complete (10 minutes should be more 
than enough).


Then get full SMART reports and save them to files:

# smartctl -x /dev/disk/by-id/... > 
YYYYMMDD-HHMM-smartctl-x-MANF-MODEL-SERIAL.out


Then upload the SMART reports someplace we can see them and post the URL's.

So, your OS disk is a Samsung 1 TB SSD on port /dev/sda.


I do not see the second Samsung SSD (?).  I would use dmesg(1) and 
grep(1) to figure out what /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are:

# dmesg | egrep '/dev/sd[bc]'

Okay.  Those are the 4 @ Samsung 870 1 TB SSD's.


It looks like you partitioned them for three RAID10'sP:

1.  900 GB first partitions for /home RAID10.

2.  30 GB second partitions for swap RAID10.

3.  What are the 1.5 GB third partitions for?

Those are the 5 @ Gigastone 2 TB SSD's, with one big partition on each.

Use /dev/disk/by-id/* paths when referring to drives.

When I built and ran a Debian 2 @ HDD RAID1 using mdadm(8), I did not 
partiton the HDD's -- I gave mdadm(8) the whole drives.

Do what I did -- forget partitions and give the whole SSD's to mdadm(8). 
  Make sure you zero or secure erase them first.

Okay.  I would not mind two big USB 3.x SSD's for backups, but I cannot 
justify the expense.

AIUI that depends upon how locks are implemented -- advisory or enforced.


That said, you want to backup files when they are closed.  Coordinating 
applications, services, and backups such that you obtain correct and 
consistent backup files every time is non-trivial.  My SOHO network is 
easy -- I close all apps, do not use any services, and run my backup script.


> And there are quite a few such open locks on this system right now. 


If you installed Debian onto a USB drive (flash or SSD), you could boot 
that, mount your disks/ RAID's read-only, and run your backups without 
any open or locked files.

That is a good reason to validate your backup/ restore processes.

That is a good reason to backup/ archive onto multiple media types.
